Li Mo looked at Cheng Changshi who was proudly gesticulating with a big slap in the face.
Although I felt that Cheng San was too complacent, I had to admit that what he said was the truth.
Those iron kettle grenades were stuffed into the gaps in the city gate of Jianchuan. There was a bang...
As soon as the gate opened, thousands of wolf soldiers who were used to fighting with the wind all squeezed in with big knives. Wow, the scene was really amazing.
The Hu people are good at traveling across mountains and rivers and hunting in the mountains.
So let alone a small road, even if it is a mountain, as long as they are given enough time, they can climb over it.
Li Mo thought about it for a long time, raised a finger and said.
"But there is a question, how many Tibetan soldiers and horses are in Jianchuan City? If there is a large Tibetan army stationed in Jianchuan City.
Even if we occupy it, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot of losses. After all, there are not many armored men in the army.
Even if you have bamboo armor, rattan armor, or leather armor, the sum total is less than five hundred."
Cheng Chubi nodded, this is the fact and irrefutable. After all, the Li people are not regular soldiers.
Just like the Shunzhou wolf, except for the wolf-headed man who only has an iron armor, there are only big and small wolf-heads and wolf soldiers around him, wearing leather armor, bamboo armor, rattan armor and only a few dozen people.
"That's all, Uncle Jie, if you don't have to work so hard for you, tomorrow morning, hurry up and rush to Yaozhou with that Zhao Changsui, and help me bring a letter to him."
"I hope Governor Ning can do more to find out the deployment of troops in Jianchuan City, at least to know how many troops there are in Jianchuan City."
In the big tent, Cheng Chubi was discussing repeatedly with Cheng Jie and Li Mo while swiping ink.
It was not until the middle of the moon that Cheng Jie accepted the letter from the third son and left. Early the next morning, Cheng Jie and Zhao Chang followed the two of them and galloped away.
In the following days, the Yin army commanded by Cheng Chubi marched even more slowly, originally moving fifty or sixty miles a day.
Nowadays, it's just thirty miles a day. However, although those monstrous heads are strange, they don't dare to disobey the order.
Anyway, no matter whether you walk fast or slow, as long as you can get to Yaozhou.
Cheng Chubi waited anxiously for the reply from Yaozhou, until at midnight on the fourth day, a sound of galloping hooves woke up Cheng Sanlang who was sleeping soundly.
#####
Appearing in front of Cheng Sanlang was not only Cheng Jie, but also Zhao Changsui from before, and three more strangers.
Cheng Jie, who was covered in dust and dust, looked haggard, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.
"Young Master, Governor Ning heard that you wanted to lead your army to attack Jianzhou, and he didn't agree with it very much."
"However, he still sent people to investigate, and then he found out that the city owner of Jianchuan City had just changed two months ago."
"The new city lord Shang Duojie quietly left Jianchuan City a few days ago, leading two thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry, and stationed troops in the Yue Jizhao area."
"There are only 800 Tubo defenders in Jianchuan City, and most of them are recruits recruited from small Tubo tribes."
Cheng Chubi looked at Cheng Jie in astonishment, what did this mean? Could it be that the Lord of Jianchuan City, Shang Duojie, couldn't cooperate with him?
I'm going to conquer Jianchuan City, so why don't you just take all the elites away? This is too unscientific.
Fortunately, at this time, Zheng Changsui quickly explained.
"Cheng Changshi, my master has analyzed it carefully.
The reason why Shang Duojie acted like this is probably to cooperate with the main force of the Tibetan army that is attacking Yazhou."
"The other thing is that the Five Zhaos in the north of Erhai Lake were forced by Shang Duojie to send troops, and after a joint attack, they marched south to attack the Mengshe Zhao."
After listening to Zheng Changsui's explanation, Cheng Chubi finally came to his senses. It seemed that the Tubo general Shang Duojie did not intend to cooperate with him.
Instead, they wanted to cooperate with the main Tibetan army far away in Yazhou to contain the energy in the southern region of Jiannan Road.
It was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to keep an eye on Jiannan Road. It can only be said that it was a matter of timing that caused the emptiness of Jianchuan City.
When I think that God has given me such a wonderful opportunity.
If we don't take down Jianchuan City, we will be really sorry for this great situation.
Except for Zheng Changsui, two of the other four are guides and are very familiar with the routes around Jianchuan City.
There are also two spies who have entered Jianchuan City many times disguised as merchants or hunters and are very familiar with the environment in Jianchuan City.
It seems that Governor Ning was not willing to attack Jianchuan City at first, which must have a lot to do with the fact that Jianchuan City was heavily guarded and had strong soldiers and horses.
However, Cheng Chubi's handwritten letter and the warrant from the governor of Jiannan Road held by Cheng Chubi forced him to submit.
Reluctantly, he sent someone to inquire about the news, and found out that Jianchuan City was empty, but instead a large number of Tibetan troops appeared in the Erhai area.
Governor Ning also reacted, so he immediately sent his elite soldiers and generals over, presumably hoping that Cheng Chubi could seize Jianchuan City.
As long as Jianchuan City is captured, the three thousand Tibetan elites will become turtles in the jar.
Even though they are still a tough nut to crack, the problem is that they have lost reinforcements and supplies, and only have three thousand soldiers alone.
In addition, those Erhai edicts have always had the virtue of breasts being mothers.
At that time, it is still unknown whether these three thousand elite Tubo friendly troops in Erhai will continue to cooperate closely with them.
After Cheng Chubi sorted out all his thoughts and gathered each situation in detail in his mind, he finally made a decision and announced.
"Come, beat the drums and gather the generals, and all the beasts will come to the tent to discuss matters."
#####
More than 20 monkey heads gathered in the big tent, and Cheng Chubi glanced majestically at the group of monkey heads.
All those who saw Cheng Changshi's gaze would nod and bow uncomfortably to express their heartfelt awe.
"Cheng Jie, Li Mo, Bai Cishi, Meng Cishi..." Following Cheng Chubi's roll call, a total of more than ten murderers stood up.
There were both Rongzhou, Bozhou, and the leader of the Hu people from Luzhou. At this moment, everyone was standing in the big tent in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
Soon, Cheng Chubi announced their mission. They would lead 2,500 men and horses.
Together with the huge team of Han and Tang merchants, they continued their mighty march to Yaozhou.
Since most of the generals were ruthless, Cheng Chubi could only use plain language to explain to them in detail what was required of them.
That is, try to make everyone think that this southward marching army, which lacks Cheng Chubi and 1,600 elite soldiers, is very large.
There were more than ten of them, including two Han generals, Cheng Jie and Li Mo, and two chiefs, Bai Cishi and Meng Cishi, who were in charge of this team.
